4Remix comics are to comics as {{Gag Dub}}s and {{Gag Sub}}s are to film and animation.
5
6From another perspective, as the StickFigureComic and SpriteComic tropes show, being unable to draw is not an impediment to pushing your own brand of funny on the world. Thanks to the RemixComic, neither is the inability to come up with your own characters.
7
8Remix comics can be as simple as taking a frame or frames from your favourite webcomic, blanking out the speech bubbles in MS Paint and overwriting them with new text. They can also be made from scans of printed comics.
9
10Sometimes, alterations to the actual images can also be made. These can range from simple things like changing the expression on someone's face, to reordering frames or even inserting entire new characters, possibly from other media entirely.

12Copyright issues may interfere with distribution of remixes. However, some webcomickers are experimenting with [[http://creativecommons.org/ Creative Commons]] licenses that enable them to explicitly allow a specific level of reuse, such as non-commercial derivative works that give attribution to them. Of course, comic writers and artists can also remix their own creations.
13
14Usually remixes are made by fans. They are also known as Strip Slaying, Rescripting or Fanmixing.

20[[folder:Comic Books]]
21* [[http://www.somethingawful.com/d/photoshop-phriday/comic-book-chaos.php This Something Awful article]] features a number of remixed comic book covers. On the Something Awful forums, it's known as "Ruining the Moment".
22* [[http://www.mightygodking.com/ Christopher Bird]] is known for his Remixes, including ''the entire ComicBook/CivilWar2006 miniseries,''(deservedly) ridiculing the storyline while heavily [[{{Flanderization}} flanderizing]] some characters (Wolverine, for example, is only able to speak in combinations of the words "[[AudibleSharpness snikt]]" and "bub").
23* [[http://www.4thletter.net/ At 4thletter!]] Gavok applies this treatment to Jeph Loeb's work in the UltimateUniverse.
24* ''[[http://www.seemoreevil.com/tag/siege/ Siege Reloaded]]'' is a remix of Marvel's event comic ''Comicbook/{{Siege}}'' that has a great deal of fun with just how stupid the idea of invading Asgard really is.
25** Blind Monkey's followup, ''[[http://www.seemoreevil.com/tag/injustice/ Injustice For All]]'' gives DC's ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'' tie-in comic the same treatment. Most notably, it turns Superman into an emotionally stunted manchild, Wonder Woman into a mixture of Kratos and The Devil, and Batman into a terrible best friend.
26* ''Webcomic/JetDream'' is a remix of various comics from the late '60s and early '70s, particularly [[ComicBook/JetDream the actual feature by the same name]] that appeared as a backup in the ''Series/TheManFromUncle'' comic book. Teen humor and romance comics are also remixed in the titles ''It's Cookie!'' and ''My Jet Dream Romance''. Presented as a {{retraux}} comic book line whose publisher was [[AuthorAppeal obsessed]] with [[GenderBender sex-changes]] and who in "real life" supported a "Fem Is In!" movement aimed at encouraging all boys to become [[WholesomeCrossdresser wholesome heterosexual crossdressers]].
27* ''[[http://tgcaps.com/tgc/modcomics/suedenim/dale01/ Dale: The Arousing Adventures of Dale Manx, Trans-Fem P.I.]]'' uses source material from Creator/MarvelComics' ''ComicBook/{{Dazzler}}'' to tell the tale of Dale Manx, formerly a male dick with a girl's name, now [[GenderBender just a girl with a girl's name]]. {{Retraux}} [[TheEighties '80s]] fun for all.
28* ''[[http://www.amazon.com/Truer-Than-True-Romance-Classic/dp/0823084388 Truer Than True Romance]]'' brilliantly lampoons the romance comics of the 1940s and 1950s by keeping the original panels and rewriting all the speech bubbles.
29* [[http://odditycollector.livejournal.com/72552.html Oddity Collector]] did a remix of the final pages of ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' #644 in 2005, years before DC Comics did their own AuthorsSavingThrow for that controversial issue.
30* [[http://wiw.org/~jess/archives/category/apropos-comics/ Apropos Comics]] featured humorous remixes of various comic book sequences. While many were one-shot gags, there were also recurring characters like [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Bat-Botanist]] ("Sworn to avenge his parents' deaths while teaching the citizens of Gotham about botany") and Captain American Government (ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, but with more of a focus on lecturing his opponents about the legislative process and the Electoral College.)
31* ''What Were They Thinking?'' was a 2006 series, actually published as a comic book by Creator/BoomStudios, which gave humorous recaptions to public domain comic book material from the '40s and '50s.
32* There are actually a few examples of Remix Comics (done "seriously" and not for purposes of parody) from major comic book publishers:
33** Circa 1969, Creator/DCComics figured there was room for yet another knockoff of ''ComicBook/{{Archie|Comics}}'' on the stands... but instead of creating a new series, they took old stories from their ''Series/TheManyLovesOfDobieGillis'' licensed comic, redrew the main character likenesses and relettered the scripts to produce the "new" series ''Windy and Willy''.
34** In the mid-'70s, ''Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes'' suddenly became a hot property. Creator/MarvelComics had a popular "Apes" series (in its black-and-white Marvel Magazines line). Marvel's British imprint, Marvel UK, eagerly followed suit with its own magazine, reprinting the American stories. But Marvel UK's "Apes" magazine was published ''weekly'', so they quickly ran out of American material to reprint. How then to fill the space? Marvel UK just took stories from Marvel's ComicBook/{{Killraven}} feature (''very'' loosely inspired by ''Literature/TheWarOfTheWorlds'' and never printed in the UK), rewrote the scripts and altered the art to turn Killraven's alien adversaries into apes. The result? Killraven became ''Apeslayer'', and Marvel UK could fill out the pages of its ''Planet of the Apes'' magazine for the rest of its run.
35** Marvel published four issues of a ''ComicStrip/DennisTheMenaceUS'' knockoff, ''Peter the Little Pest'', in 1969-1970. The stories were actually repurposed from a 1956-1957 series, ''Melvin the Monster''. The "new" series gave Peter red hair (compared to Melvin's blond hair) and softer, less "menacing" expressions.
36** Editora Abril, the official publisher of [[ComicBook/DisneyMouseAndDuckComics Disney comics]] in Brazil from 1950 to 2018, has also adopted this practice for some time. In the early 1960s, [[BreakoutCharacter José Carioca got his own comic book]] in Brazil, with new stories entirely made by the newly formed team of Brazilian Disney artists. Things went fine during the first few numbers, but, since the team was still small, it soon became clear they could not properly keep up with the demand of a bi-weekly comic book and needed a quicker, easier alternative for making more José Carioca stories. The (very unusual) solution for this problem was redrawing US-made comics that originally starred Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck, by replacing the main character with José, adapting the dialogues accordingly and ocasionally substituting the nephews with José's own nephews, Zico and Zeca. The resulting stories were visually convincing, but removed much of José Carioca's personality, turning him into a [[TheGenericGuy generic character]], so that he could be easily adapted into any type of story for filling up the pages of his comic book. Unsurprisingly, Brazilian fans [[AudienceAlienatingEra are not fond of this period]] and mockingly refer to it as ''Zé Fraude'' ("Fraud José"). Thankfully, by the end of the decade, the Brazilian team of Disney artists had already expanded and was fully able to make brand-new stories starring José Carioca and other characters, without having to resort to any type of adaptation. This allowed José to have his personality again and made way for the creation of his own universe in the comics, with new supporting characters and distinctive storylines.
37* ''[[http://www.scribd.com/doc/18878654/Persepolis20 Persepolis 2.0]]'' uses the drawings from ''ComicBook/{{Persepolis}}'' to explain the 2009 Iranian election.
38* ''Magazine/{{MAD}}'' #11, published in 1954, features perhaps the earliest known example. Cartoonist Harvey Kurtzman, operating under a tight deadline and in desperate need of content, lifted the Creator/ECComics story "Murder the Husband" (originally from ''Crime [=SuspenStories=]'' #12) and replaced all the dialogue with jokes, non-sequitors and a variety of untranslated foreign languages, appropriately enough titled "Murder the Story."
39* Parts of ''ComicBook/TheSmurfs'' comic book stories and [[WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981 the 1980s cartoon show]] were used for the ''Fanfic/EmpathTheLuckiestSmurf'' story "Smurfed Behind: The Departure".
40** As [[http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130130140956/smurfsfanon/images/f/f0/Hefty%27s_Dream_Complete.jpg the cover image]] for "I Dream Of Smurfette": Hefty wakes up and finds out [[NocturnalEmission something is wrong...]]
41** A portion of "King Smurf" gets turned into [[http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120706194030/smurfs/images/1/18/Hug_Ambush.jpg this]].
42** Brainy's idea of "Christianity" [[http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140515214810/smurfsfanon/images/f/f1/Brainy%27s_Sign_From_God.jpg turns off even his mirror reflection]].
43** And speaking of ''ComicBook/TheSmurfs'', the comic book version of "The Clockwork Smurf" was an official remixed version of a multi-part story ad that originally featured a ProductPlacement character (an anthropomorphic jar of Benco chocolate drink powder).
44* ''ComicBook/AtariForce'''s "Mission: Phoenix", the comic book story that was included with the Platform/{{Atari 2600}} version of ''{{VideoGame/Phoenix}}'', was originally scripted as a story for the spinoff arcade game ''Liberator'', with the Malaglon originally resembling frogs.
45* ''WebComic/MuhPhoenix'' is this to ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'', making up sillier reasons for the eponymous conflict and turning every character into either a perverted psychopath, a foul-mouthed {{jerkass}}, or [[CharacterExaggeration exaggerating any bad character trait they already have]].
46* [[http://unfauxgraphistelol.tumblr.com/archive A French series]] takes ''{{ComicBook/Tintin}}'' panels and enters new dialogue that turns Tintin into a racist asshole, Haddock into a reactionary old fart, the Thompsons into hipsters, and Calculus into a pretentious artist.
47* ''What If Crisis On Infinite Earths Was A Marvel Comics Group Event?'' is a reimagining of DC Comics' ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' with Marvel Comics characters drawn in the place of their DC Comics counterparts, with [[ComicBook/WhatIf the Watcher]] taking the place of the Monitor.

50[[folder:Manga]]
51* ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' lends itself well to remixes: [[http://gallery.whatistheexcel.com/main.php/v/krieg/ The Comprehensive Kriegsaffe No. 9]] is a notable, {{NSFW}} one. Warning: contains traces of Cthulu.
52* The website [[http://www.japanator.com/elephant/index-short.phtml?t=yotsubato Japanator]] has taken to editing Manga/{{Yotsuba}} comics to discuss things like the anime industry, the popularity of {{Moe}}, and...other things. CheerfulChild, indeed.
53* [[http://cry-some-more.demon-sushi.com/ Cry Some More]] remixes badly written YaoiGenre manga (and webcomics) such as ''Manga/LovePistols''.
54* Perhaps the most prominent example is Manga/{{Doraemon}} remixes in UsefulNotes/{{Vietnam}}. Due to [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff Vietnam having lots and lots of devoted Doraemon fans]], it is no surprise that the country has left [[https://www.google.com/search?q=doraemon+chế&hs=d9B&channel=fs&sxsrf=ALiCzsYkVeY1CEnMQRCDRVjGbMYioGbL_w:1653710134122&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwje6uuopoH4AhUcplYBHYfxBdoQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1294&bih=656&dpr=1 a vast library of remixes]].
55** It isn't exactly known when Doraemon remix community in Vietnam emerged, but we do know that the 2011-2014 period is considered the GoldenAge of the community, with remix competitions, compilations, [[{{Fanon}} remixes that serve as original stories]], and even {{Fanvid}}s on Website/YouTube using frames sourced from the scans. Heck, there were a handful of Website/{{Facebook}} pages created solely for sharing and/or creating remixes! Unfortunately, most of them no longer exist.
56** And, by the way, there's a [=GitHub=] repository for resources to make your own Doraemon remixes. [[https://github.com/KatsumiKougen/DoraemonImages Go check it out]].
57* ''Manga/ChainsawMan'' had an unofficial Brazilian "scanlation" that was often profane and politically incorrect, and became very popular before the official version came out in 2020. Unfortunadely, some of its fans took [[InternetJerk the wrong way to express their frustration that the anime's dub did not draw from it]], even making Future Devil dubber Creator/GuilhermeBriggs [[WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings quit social media after being harrassed.]]
58[[/folder]]
59
60[[folder:Newspaper Comics]]
61* ''Webcomic/DysfunctionalFamilyCircus'' may have been the ultimate Remix Comic, spawning a community that generated countless remixed captions for 500 Bil Keane ''ComicStrip/TheFamilyCircus'' strips, until Keane's publisher, King Features Syndicate, told DFC webmaster Greg Galcik to stop. During its run, DFC developed a complete set of tropes and in-jokes all its own- most of them as offensive as possible.
62** There are also ''[[http://jerseycircus.blogspot.com/ Jersey Circus]]'' and ''[[http://www.losanjealous.com/nfc/ The Nietzsche Family Circus]]'', which use ''Series/JerseyShore'' and random Creator/{{Nietzsche}} quotes, respectively.
63** Added bonus: ''ComicStrip/PearlsBeforeSwine'' is an "official" version of this. Sometimes copy/pasting wholesale, other times just using the characters.
64* On the ''ComicStrip/{{Dilbert}}'' website there is now a [[http://www.dilbert.com/mashups/ tool]] to automate this.
65* ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' has spawned a few different takes on the source material. One is to remove the thought bubbles and let Garfield's expression and body language, as well as Jon's [[AsideGlance aside glances]], tell the story. Another, known as ''Webcomic/GarfieldMinusGarfield'', is to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin remove Garfield as well]], usually to make Jon seem a sad, lonely, delusional man. Yet another is to replace Garfield with a more realistic cat. Still another takes a database of unmodified Garfield panels and randomly generates strips from them on demand.
66** Taking this in about as many directions as possible is ''Webcomic/SquareRootOfMinusGarfield''.
67** There's also the Garfield Randomizer, which takes random panels from a vast library of Garfield comic strips and puts three of them together to form strips that are, as the theory goes, funnier than the originals. There's been copyright trouble over this one, as predicted, but those resourceful enough to look for it can probably find it.
68* ''[[http://z11.invisionfree.com/WOAM/index.php?showtopic=619 Mallard Fillmore With Funny]]'' strips the political rhetoric of the original comic and replaces it with [[spoiler: the word "dicks" repeated over and over again.]]
69* [[http://danarchy.youfailit.net/Spiderman/ These remixes]] of the ''ComicStrip/SpiderMan'' newspaper strip were done by Jay Pinkerton.
70* ''[[http://3eanuts.com/ 3eanuts]]'' simply removes the last panel of ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' strips. This tends to make them [[CrapsackWorld extremely depressing.]]
71** ''[[http://thischarmingcharlie.tumblr.com This charming charlie]]'' takes individual ''Peanuts'' panels and replaces the dialogue with lyrics from songs by Music/TheSmiths.
72* The defunct ''[[http://www.freewebs.com/iferstevens/btjt.htm Bradley and the Jumpy Tiger]]'' takes ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' and rewrites it to talk about other subject matter, usually then-current pop culture. The main RunningGag is Bradley being forced to watch Tickle U (Creator/CartoonNetwork's then-current, ill-fated preschool block) and being denied ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy''.
73** The same creator made [[http://www.freewebs.com/iferstevens/homemadestripsbyme.htm these]] one-off remixes of C&H, featuring a role reversed version of the first strip, one strip with the characters remade as those of ''ComicStrip/{{Foxtrot}}'', Calvin telling Dad about the new Foxtrot book, Calvin's dad complaining about ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'', and Calvin getting caught playing ''VideoGame/{{Kameo}}'' and attempting to explain it as watching ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc''.
74** ''[[http://calvinanddune.tumblr.com/ Calvin and Muad'Dib]]'' replaces the dialogue from ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' with equally philosophical lines from Franchise/{{Dune}}.
75* Parodied in a story arc of ''ComicStrip/PearlsBeforeSwine'' where Rat breaks into the office of the comics industry (it's a long story), and discovers the computer where all the files to the comics are stored. He then replaces all their dialogue with quotes from UsefulNotes/BenitoMussolini, followed by the ''ComicStrip/TheFamilyCircus'' strip that resulted.
76** Another time, he went strip-hopping and wrote his own dialogue for ''ComicStrip/{{Luann}}''.
77** And yet another time, he made a parody of ''his own strip'', "Pearls Without Pig".
78* ''Webcomic/{{iToons}}'': ''Webcomic/SquareRootOfMinusGarfield'' without the hassle of only using ''Garfield''.

81[[folder:Webcomics]]
82* ''Webcomic/MegaTokyo'' is possibly ''the'' place to go for rescripts. Fans have been at it since 2004 and may have improved over time. Their monthly rescript challenge started spontaneously when someone [[http://forums.megatokyo.com/index.php?showtopic=1717160&hl= threw down the gauntlet]] to rescript using only Creator/WilliamShakespeare. Since then, the theme changes each month. Recent examples have included bloopers, famous movie lines and ... umm... [[http://archive.forums.megatokyo.com/?showtopic=1732368 tvtropes]].
83** And there's also ''[[http://animeoutsiders.com/comix/Negatokyo/index.php?page=0 Negatokyo]]'', the comic where Largo is turned into an UncleTomfoolery [[BlackComedyRape rapist]] who is [[LampshadeHanging aware of his surroundings]], Piro is even more of a loser, and Subasa speaks YouNoTakeCandle.
84* Over 200 remixes (counting {{image macro}}s, but not forum avatars) were made from the webcomic ''{{Webcomic/Erfworld}}''. Thanks to a Creative Commons license, they can be legally shared without having to ask for permission in advance; most can be found in [[http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49314 two]] [[http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49479 threads]] on the official forums
85* The creators of ''Webcomic/NoNeedForBushido'' have separate official sections on their website for [[http://noneedforbushido.com/extras/fan-stuff/fanmixes fanmixes]] made by other people and non-canon [[http://www.noneedforbushido.com/remix/index.php?strip_id=1 remixes]] made by themselves.
86* ''Webcomic/DinosaurComics'' is entirely based on this concept. The first strip was a CutAndPasteComic of clip-art, but almost every one after that has been a remix of the first, with only the dialogue changed. (See also... the ''Webcomic/DinosaurComics'' page.)
87** Special mention has to go to when Dinosaur Comics gets turned into [[http://qwantz.com/fanart/japan/ a class project]] in an English class in Japan.
88** Similarly, there's ''[[http://goviolet.com/?page_id=633 Penny Arcade Remix]]''
89* The fan [[{{Fora}} forum]] for ''Webcomic/CollegeRoomiesFromHell'' has a running 'Perviverse' thread in which the fans (and in some case, the original author) post 'rescripts' in which the dialog has been replaced with rather unsubtle innuendo[[http://forums.keenspot.com/viewtopic.php?t=80164]]. This eventually spawned a thread of ''clean'' rescripts in reply[[http://forums.keenspot.com/viewtopic.php?t=95732]].
90* ''[[http://www.drunkduck.com/POKETTO_MONSUTAA_SPECIAL_SUPER_EX_ADVENTURE_XXXVX_THE_CHRONICLES_OF_RED_BLUE_GREEN_AND_A_BUNCH_OF_OTHER_KIDS_WITH_COLORS_FOR_NAMES POKETTO MONSUTAA SPECIAL SUPER EX ADVENTURE XXXVX THE CHRONICLES OF RED BLUE GREEN AND A BUNCH OF OTHER KIDS WITH COLORS FOR NAMES]]'' is a remix comic using the Pokémon Special manga. This one tends to edit the art to a degree as well.
91* The Webcomic/ElGoonishShive forum also has one of these: [[http://community.910cmx.com/index.php?showtopic=4617 the Strip Slaying thread]] (the old forum's thread can be found [[http://forums.keenspot.com/viewtopic.php?t=96887&sid=fe38b0ba2f958b66f4963e6e81813829 here]]).
92* "Strip slays" of ''[[Webcomic/DominicDeegan Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire]]'' are quite popular among the comic's “ironic” fans.
93** Vitriolic blogger John Solomon also attempted a Remix of the entire comic strip, entitled ''Webcomic/DominicDurgan'' as a parody of its writing and art style. He himself admits [[SoBadItsGood it was created in one night and is profoundly juvenile]].
94* A particularly infamous image board has instituted something called the ''CAD rule'' for "improving" the webcomic ''Webcomic/CtrlAltDel''. In its most common incarnation, you remove the middle two panels and put the first and last in sequence, and then remove the dialogue from the last. A large repository can be found on the troll site ''Encyclopedia Dramatica'', which is '''not safe for work''' and probably '''not safe for people with marginally weak stomachs''', too. The same image board also likes to play with Sonic comics, and a single panel from a ComicBook/ChickTract; in the latter case, the original dialogue was ''probably'' [[MemeticMutation "This is a sandwich."]]
95* ''Webcomic/DMOfTheRings'' and ''Webcomic/DarthsAndDroids'' both follow this concept... working with screencaps of the ''[=LoTR=]'' and ''Star Wars'' films and adding their own dialogue.
96** The ''[[http://check.animeblogger.net/nanoha-gamers-index/ Nanoha GamerS]]'' comic does this with screencaps of ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'' and rewrites it as an RPGAnime of sorts, in the vein of ''[[Franchise/DotHack .hack//]]'' and ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes''.
97* The ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'' forum had a custom comic thread that went over 250 pages long, with its own in-jokes. Unfortunately lost now, due to the forums being deleted.
98* ''Webcomic/LookingForGroup'' fans have been rescripting more and more when producing motivators.
99* ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic'' has recently invited people to do remixes.
100* ''Webcomic/BrawlInTheFamily'' has a large "mashup" thread on the [[http://www.brawlinthefamily.com/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl?m-1233016083/ forums]].
101* On the ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'' forum the practice is known as "filking" (allegedly because a comic remix is like a {{filksong}} in the sense that new words are added to existing music/graphics.
102** Early in '04, a particularly active filker looking for a bigger challenge invented the [[http://nice.purrsia.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=12346 klif]], a reverse filk that not only did all the strips from the beginning in chronological order but flipped each strip left/right. Strange as it may sound, the experiment continued with some intervals for a whole three years, eventually doing all (some 900) strips that had been released before the thread started.
103* These have become increasingly popular on the ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'' forums, with two whole threads devoted to posting them. A few distinct memes have evolved: editing Boxbot into a scene [[ButtMonkey thereby making it "terrible"]], adding party hats to character's heads, giving the characters laser eyes, and altering dialogue to read "Okay that is quite enough thank you".
104* In ''Webcomic/TheKamics'' the author himself did this with some of his comics under the title Remix Theatre.
105* A popular activity on the ''Webcomic/AwkwardZombie'' forums is to remix the most recent comic with past comics.
106** Typically, the Dominion Rod ([[http://www.awkwardzombie.com/index.php?page=0&comic=011909 source]]) will come up at least once, as well as Katie's dad asking where someone gets gas ([[http://www.awkwardzombie.com/index.php?page=0&comic=081307 source]]), an Entei with someone yelling "ARGRARJGHH" ([[http://www.awkwardzombie.com/index.php?page=0&comic=053110 source]]), and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Nowi]] asking another character if he wants to start a relationship with her ([[http://www.awkwardzombie.com/index.php?page=0&comic=040813 source]]).
107* The ''Webcomic/PennyAndAggie'' forum has the [[http://www.pennyandaggie.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3497 Random Strip Manip]] thread, in which fans use the [[http://www.random.org/ Random.org True Random Number Generator]] to choose a random strip for this purpose (or simply pick any strip they like). This has inspired the creation of collaborative CrackFic remix storylines with SpyFiction, ScienceFiction, {{Horror}} twists, and a heaping helping of HoYay.
108* The "Law For Kids" comics produced by the Arizona and South Carolina state governments have been popular targets for LUE and 4chan users.
109* ''Webcomic/{{Twokinds}}'' fans do the [[http://twokinds.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8710 panel shuffle]].
110* (As mentioned in the manga section) [[http://cry-some-more.demon-sushi.com/ Cry Some More]] riffs bad YaoiGenre comics - the vast majority of them being webcomics. Such as ''Starfighter'' and ''Shark Teeth''. When she did a riff on ''Webcomic/{{Teahouse}}'' the writers complained and got her booted off both Livejournal and Photobucket due to copyright, even though she has fair use - so she moved to another site.
111* The PhotoComic ''Webcomic/ASofterWorld'' gives us a variation has been attracting these lately. [[http://asoftergleeworld.tumblr.com See]] [[http://aria.dreamwidth.org/137921.html?#cutid1 for yourself.]]
112* The [[http://www.bitstrips.com/pageone/ Bitstrips]]-associated [[http://stopbullying.bitstrips.com/challenge/ Stop Bullying]] gives users the option to make their own comics and many have taken advantage of this.
113* ''Webcomic/MakingXKCDSlightlyWorse'' is, well making Webcomic/{{xkcd}} [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin slightly worse]].
114* [[http://tgcaps.com/caps/ TGCaps.com]] is devoted to remix comics with transgender themes.
115* ''Webcomic/MountainTime'' has done this a few times; one example turns [[http://mountaincomics.com/2012/01/19/mountain-time-323/ this]] into [[http://mountaincomics.com/2013/01/31/not-mountain-time-428/ this]].
116* Remixes of Webcomic/QuestionableContent are sometimes posted to the [[https://old.reddit.com/r/questionablecontent/ /r/questionablecontent/ subreddit]]. In particular, Reddit user [[https://old.reddit.com/user/Squirrelclamp/submitted/ Squirrelclamp has posted]] over 180 remixes as of 2022-04, usually satires of that day’s comic.
117* ''Webcomic/{{cad comic}}'' [[https://cad-comic.tumblr.com/]] is a surreal remix of ''Webcomic/CtrlAltDel'', in which people randomly gain powers for no reason and/or are oblivious to this being at all weird.
118[[/folder]]
119
120[[folder:Western Animation]]
121* Ridiculously easy to exploit with ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeMe'' and its [[http://www.mylifeme.com/#manga online "manga" maker]].
122* There's also the [[http://pbskids.org/arthur/games/comiccreator/comiccreator.html Arthur Comic Creator]], which has achieved [[MemeticMutation memetic status]].
123* ''WebVideo/DarkSimpsons'' uses uncaptioned, unedited screenshots of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' to tell stories filled with BlackComedy, tragedy, revenge, homicide, etc.
124[[/folder]]
125
126[[folder:Other]]
127%%* Several of the ''ComicBook/ChickTracts'' have had this done to them.
128* The mini-comic that came with the first wave of ''Anime/TransformersArmada'' toys, originally stuffed with the same dialogue in three languages, took on a life of its own thanks to TF fan Matt Marshall deciding to poke fun at the stilted prose by rewriting the comic to be as silly as possible. The result is ''Webcomic/ArmadaTheRealStory'', which tells the story of the mentally-impaired but well-meaning Autobot Hot Shot's quest for something known only as "[=JaAm=]" while Optimus Prime wonders where his feet are and Cyclonus tries to figure out what the hell his alt-mode is supposed to be.
129* ''Website/SomethingAwful'' particularly loves to do this to any type of comic (especially anything with its own Mock Thread); WebOriginal/{{Zalgo}} is one common variation ([[http://jamiedubs.com/fuckflickr/data/zalgo/garfield_zalgo_2.jpg example]]).
130* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'' fancomic ''I Will Survive'' has had this done to it many a time, most likely as the result of the strange subject matter (An anthropomorphic fox and bunny from a children's film argue about whether or not to get an abortion).
131* "Webcomic/{{Bertstrips}}" are a series of out-of-context screenshots from ''Series/SesameStreet'' with captions on them that essentially turn the characters into murderous psychopaths.
